from BBC News:

A Catholic priest has been removed as a university chaplain after he held a service to atone for the “gross offence” of a Gay Pride event.

Father Mark Morris had tended to the spiritual needs of students at Glasgow Caledonian University.

However, university bosses said his views were at odds with those of the educational institution.

A statement from the Archdiocese of Glasgow said it was aware of the university’s decision.

It added that it would address the “provision of chaplaincy support in due course”.

The decision to remove Fr Morris came after he held a prayer service at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Balornock which sought “reparation for the gross offence to God which is Pride Glasgow”.
